Melodyne ARA tempo extraction

Melodyne features accurate tempo detection, and SONAR’s ARA integration allows you to easily synchronize a project’s tempo map to the tempo of any Melodyne Region FX clip or regular audio clip.

When an audio clip is converted to a Melodyne Region FX clip, Melodyne detects any inconsistencies between the detected tempo and the project tempo. If any inconsistencies are detected, Melodyne’s Tempo Options button will pulse.

Figure 25. The Melodyne Tempo Options button pulses if there are any tempo inconsistencies.

To add the tempo from a Melodyne Region FX clip to the project’s tempo map, do one of the following:

Drag the Melodyne Region FX clip to SONAR’s Time Ruler.

 

Note: In addition to dragging a Melodyne Region FX clip to the Time Ruler, you can also drag any audio clip to the Time Ruler and SONAR will extract the tempo information using Melodyne and ARA and set the global tempo map for that region. It is not necessary to first convert the audio clip to a Melodyne Region FX clip, but this approach will not allow you to edit the tempo in Melodyne before extracting the tempo. The only exclusions are Groove clips and REX files, since they already follow SONAR’s tempo. If a clip has Lock Position enabled, hold down the CTRL key in order to drag it to the Time Ruler.

Click the Tempo Options button in Melodyne, then select Use the tempo grid detected by Melodyne.

The Melodyne Region FX clip’s tempo map is added to the project’s tempo map.
